A few weeks ago I went to one of my favorite corners of the book store, the Metaphysical section. A woman turns to me after a few moments and starts spilling her entire life story. She clearly needed some guidance…I’m not always sure if I’m the one who’s supposed to help them, but this one was all too clear….I didn’t have to read her aura, I didn’t need to hear anymore of her life and I didn’t really want to be in my favorite corner of that bookstore anymore. She had some karmic energy (I imagine still does), that needed to fulfill its course. She seemed somewhat desperate to help herself and had a handful of books of many subjects resting in her arms.

Sometimes reminding people of their own faith seems to help move things along. Discussing things people aren’t familiar with can be very scary to some people, so staying within a comfortable boundary is a big deal with me. Some people think their problems are going to be solved overnight and others don’t think they deserve anything that comes to them. We’ve all heard it growing up, “be careful of the consequences”, “don’t forget the three fold law”. No matter what language or religion you talk about, hear about or ask about, there’s always something to be warned about, especially what to expect when you are purposefully harmful or cause trouble to others.

The young lady said she was Christian. It’s too easy to slap our hands together, look up at the sky and ask for courage to get through a situation….but we forget about the person or persons who are doing the un-doing. I asked her to think about the person who is causing her harm…maybe he needs some help remembering his humanity. Her prayer should be about him to find his way again, not about her to be safe.(It was mostly word bashing going on, so no physical harm to the young lady–we all know the number to the PoPo!)

She didn’t seem interested in what I had to say, so she pulls out a crystal quarts from her wallet. She said she was given this stone and she didn’t know how to use it. After asking her what she knew about the stone (which was nothing), I went into detail about it’s metaphysical properties. I then realized that perhaps someone had given it to her with ill intentions.

Upon receiving a stone as a gift, it’s important to ask if the stone was charged with any specific energy. Anyone can cleanse a stone upon it’s receipt. Wash it with some faucet water, or ocean water–depending on your personal preferences and then let it sit in the moon light, ready to receive its next intention.

Had the young woman done this right away, she may not have endured as much as she had. The stone may have had ill intentions.

1*This stone can literally transform pressure or heat into electromagnetic energy, and vice versa. Its ability to focus, amplify, store and transform energy is used throughout the technology world in ultrasound devices, watches, microphones, radio transmitters and receivers, memory chips in computers and other electronic circuitry.

1*The same properties of energy amplification, programmability and memory also make the Clear Quartz the most versatile and multidimensional stone in the mineral kingdom for healing, meditation, expansion of consciousness, communication with guides, past-life recall, attracting love or prosperity, or virtually any purpose. However, with this power comes responsibility. To benefit from Rock Crystal’s blessings, one must feel in harmony with it and deserve its gifts. Intent other than good inevitably brings harm back to oneself.

So, as mentioned above, the crystal quartz can be anything you want it to be. The young lady had this stone in her possession for months and didn’t know what she had.
